    There are certain conditions for getting off the donkey on a slope. It is best to do it smoothly without leaving any trace. The person who gets off the donkey takes it as a matter of course, and the person who gives the steps is subtle. Both of them are indispensable. Zai Ren just said too much, and it will not end well.  The words of this senior staff officer named Yamada were still a little too hot, too harsh, and seemed artificial!

    Prince Zai Ren shook his head and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Yamada-kun, your words have their meaning, but precisely because I am the commander-in-chief of the empire's Far East forces, I should go to the place where the battle is the fiercest and cruelest.  If you go to command, you should be with me as a soldier. Thank you Yamada-kun for your suggestion!" He looked at the dozen senior generals with different expressions and said calmly: "Gentlemen, go and prepare, we should all do it!  Have the courage!¡±

    The faces of the senior officers of the Japanese army became extremely ugly. The generals of the Japanese Empire are not afraid of death and dare to face death. But if they know that they are going to die, and moths are thrown into the fire, then they are not brave and senseless.  No, it's an extremely stupid approach!

    Major General Yamada, the senior staff officer, is neither anxious nor annoyed. He has been in the imperial world for many years. Although he has never held a full-time commander's position and was only promoted to the rank of major general when he was over fifty years old, he has a very thorough understanding of the world. Just now  At that moment, I caught a hint of change and movement in His Highness the Prince's gaze. The content contained in it could not be hidden from my own eyes.  .

    His Highness the Prince's behavior is more of an attitude, "I don't believe it. He is not afraid of death. Is he a liar?" Of course, I don't have to accompany the skinny Prince to die, what can I say?  , it¡¯s worth it, Yamada secretly thought in his heart, giving him a step to get off is the most important thing at the moment. It depends on whether the step is suitable. This requires skill!

    Senior Staff Officer Yamada, walking heavily as if following the execution ground, made a gesture to his colleagues who were heading out, turned to Prince Zai Ren and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the headquarters has been moved forward to where the Kwantung Army Headquarters is located.  , it takes more than a day to travel, and the road conditions along the way are very bad, and the radio signal is greatly affected. If during this period, the two forces of the empire responsible for encircling the Soviet army have any important report, wouldn't it be delayed?  Military aircraft!"

    Prince Zairen, who was pretending to go out, stopped and asked: "This is a difficult problem to solve. Yamada-kun, do you have any good suggestions?"

    Major General Yamada said confidently: "It is very necessary for the Far East Campaign Command to be close to the front line for command. However, there is no need for the Commander-in-Chief to go there in person. After all, there is still overall command and you need it. If the Commander-in-Chief is worried,  , the staff department can lead a capable staff team to rush to the Kwantung Army Headquarters on your behalf, how about that?"

    Zai Ren breathed a huge sigh of relief in his heart. He wanted to hug Yamada's wrinkled old face and kiss him hard, "What a considerate old guy. If he can survive this time, he must be promoted. His hair is all gone."  He's half-white, and he's still a major general. How can he bury his talent? It would be a pleasure to have someone take his place in a battlefield where there is a near-death situation!" He thought to himself.

    "In that case, it's up to you, Mr. Yamada. You can issue any order to the Kwantung Army on my behalf. However, it must be reported to the Far East Campaign Headquarters in advance and can only be executed after approval!" Prince Zairen said solemnly,  He gave a lot of power to Major General Yamada, but the final decision was still firmly in his own hands.

    The other dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army all looked at Major General Matsuda with pity, feeling sad for him in their hearts, "You said, you are so old, what can you do? You still have to go to Kanto on behalf of the prince.  Army Headquarters, this is a good time. We are helpless because we are involved. Yamada-kun, please wish yourself well!"

    The reactions of Prince Zai Ren and more than a dozen senior generals were all seen in Yamada's eyes. He sneered secretly in his heart, "A bunch of idiots, guys who are so wise to protect themselves. I am impatient to live? I'm going to go to the Kwantung Army."  Water? Little knowledge!¡±

    Major General Yamada replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the staff will be ready to set off immediately. All situations will be reported to the Campaign Headquarters in a timely manner!"

    A group of senior generals of the Japanese army came over to shake hands, and they were quite reluctant to say goodbye. Major General Yamada was able to grasp the sadness of being separated from yin and yang. After thinking about it, he said as if he had considered it carefully: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, sir.  The Ministry suddenly thought of a very critical issue. Previously, Lieutenant General Niyano Tatsuaki, Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, has been at the Kwantung Army Headquarters to assist General Nanjiro in commanding on your behalf! "

    "Then, is it a bit unnecessary for me to go here? How to arrange the command authority with Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro and Chief of Staff Ry¨±aki Shinno? If they all have the power to command, one army and three commanders will send out many orders, which will not only restrict each other.  , it will also make the generals below at a loss what to do, which will delay the fighting opportunity. Therefore,The Ministry of Defense believes that it is better for us not to interfere in the command of the Kwantung Army troops. Even Chief of Staff Ry¨±aki Shinno should not interfere too much!  "

    At this point, Prince Zai Ren finally understood the real intention of this old guy with walnut lines on his face. Even he couldn't help but secretly praise, "Brilliant!" Having given himself a beautiful step, Yamada himself  There is no need to go to a dangerous place, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone!

    "What a slippery old guy. Fortunately, he is not a threat to me. Otherwise, you have to be careful about this person. However, he is quite a talent!" Prince Zairen thought to himself, "Listen to Mr. Yamada's words of wisdom.  It suddenly dawned on me that the Commander-in-Chief was overly aggressive and failed to consider the overall situation. It was Zai Ren¡¯s mistake! I hope that in the future, you will be like Yamada-kun and point out my Commander¡¯s mistakes. General Zai Ren  Thank you very much!" He reflected on himself first and expressed his position humbly.

    Zai Ren has been in a high position for a long time, but he can still hold it. Oops, the eyes of the dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army almost dropped to the ground. The eyes they looked at Yamada were completely different. They were in admiration. Look at Mr. Yamada.  , what he said, he is so damn smart, he is worthy of being a veteran who has been in the imperial world for decades and has become a spirit!

    A dozen senior officers of the Japanese army were still immersed in Yamada's performance just now, "Gentlemen, the war is about to begin, and the headquarters must have an organization to coordinate and handle all aspects of the situation!" Prince Zai Ren spoke again, this time  , throwing a big bomb.

    The attention of the dozen or so senior Japanese military officers immediately shifted from Yamada to Prince Zain's words, "an organization that coordinates and handles all aspects of the situation!" What does it mean, one of us is going to be the leader?  In the Far East Campaign Headquarters, there are a large number of senior staff officers with the rank of major general and above, each of whom is responsible for his or her own responsibility. Although the military rank is high, it does not have real power. As the saying goes, "If a staff officer does not have a leader, he will not even fart!"  "

    However, don¡¯t worry about the position of chief of staff. Lieutenant General Ninyo Ryuaki, the head of the base camp¡¯s operations department, has already occupied it. He came from the base camp with a hat on, and he is also a confidant of Prince Zain. His position is very stable.  Very, then, His Highness the Prince means to establish a new organization?

    More than a dozen senior officers of the Japanese army had green eyes, their ears were twitching, and they stared at Prince Zai Ren intently, "Chief of Staff Xinye is at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, assisting in commanding the battle against the Soviet army. He cannot get away for a while.  "My commander's feelings remain unchanged, so I decided to establish the Far East Campaign General Headquarters Staff Headquarters, which will be directly responsible to me. I think Mr. Yamada is the most suitable candidate for this headquarter!"

    "The responsibility of the General Staff Headquarters is to assist the Commander in command of the Far Eastern Campaign and to unify the management of all senior staff officers of the Headquarters. When the Chief of Staff is absent, the Chief of Staff shall act as the Chief of Staff. I will report this appointment to His Majesty the Emperor.  , Okay, everyone, please support Yamada-kun's work and go back to your respective jobs. Mr. Yamada, you must also step into the role immediately and pay attention to the specific situation of the Far East Expeditionary Force and the Korean Residential Army. In a moment,  I want to hear the report!"

    After Prince Zai Ren gave his instructions, he turned around and entered his office. He did not mention anything about the Kwantung Army. Yamada also knew why. The senior officers bowed to see each other off. As soon as Zai Ren disappeared, these officers who were colleagues just now,  Immediately, they gathered around enthusiastically and expressed their congratulations. They all talked about everything, "Mr. Yamada, I will work under your leadership in the future. Please take good care of me!"

    "Yamada-kun, if you don't mind, come to my residence tonight to get together. I have a few bottles of good sake hidden away. How about we get drunk and have a rest?"  Do you think this is the summary of the situation of the dispatched troops and the Korean troops stationed in Korea? If possible, please sign it yourself. You are the head of the department. Of course, you have done this yourself! "

    There was a loud noise. Major General Yamada frowned slightly and smiled calmly. He was somewhat excited and frightened by the sudden rise to a higher position. He was also a little uncomfortable with it. He also felt that few of his colleagues who thought highly of him in the past were now like this.  The disgust of a flattering face, and of course, the passion that comes with power!

    Yamada knew very well that he had received a great return for his beautiful steps. His Royal Highness the Prince reciprocated the favor. The head of the General Staff Headquarters seemed to be working under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. However, at this moment, Chief of Staff Shinno was not here, so he could  Assuming the authority of the acting chief of staff, that is to say, from this moment on, he is the second-ranking figure in the headquarters of the nearly two million Imperial Army in the Far East, and he is also a person of real power!

    From now on, even if you board the chariot of Prince Zain, when you retire, you can still get the rank of general, right?

    Yamada smiled calmly and responded to the compliments of his former colleagues and subordinates now, but the tone of his words was different from those of the past.It's different, with a vague meaning from a superior, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to celebrate, the war in the Far East is imminent, and there are many things to do, so everyone should go back to work!"
